Chestnuts are a holiday tradition in southern France. They grow in the Ardeche area very close to where we grew up. But we do not use them in our stuffing mix ; it would make the stuffing even more "stuffing" and dry ....

The secret is to simply warm them up before to serve in the gravy made with all the juices the turkey has made while cooking .No cream, no butter . That easy ! And it is called a "dinde aux marrons "

( These cooked and canned chestnuts ( imported from France ) are available at Whole Foods .)

You do the cooking...we're taking care of your holiday decor and gift ideas ! We just added some 25 photos to our blog so you can preview what just came in for this Holiday season ( we even put many photos of our nativity scene )....but we have much more in store ! So come in, avoid the rush of the Malls and support a small local business :)
